Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's about temptations that confront all of us. Will this farm facility add to the sanctuary of Purgatory or just become a bigger target for dark creatures in the domain of space? Resnik once again attempts to stem the onslaught of strong emotions that have the power to save or destroy. Can the City in Space endure? Will its people triumph or continue to become victims? In Book 1: Purgatory by Robb tells the story of Resnick Clayborn and an ability he refers to as, "the spirit" which allows him to communicate with a mysterious force that guides him. With a team of the world's greatest minds following this guidance, they have created a city in space. Mankind now stands in the space between Earth as we know it, and the infinite beyond.

When mankind attains mastery of this world, will he accept guidance from a higher power, or will he enthrone himself against it?

Download or read book New Cities and Community Extensions in Egypt and the Middle East written by Sahar Attia and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to push forward the boundaries of current practices and knowledge to embrace innovative solutions, novel approaches, and grounded technologies within realistic comprehension of economic risks and environmental implications. It investigates different scales and situations, various urban forms and morphology, and various localities and totalities. The book presents a platform of recent research, findings, and answers to pressing issues of building new cities and expanding existing ones in the Middle East and Egypt, within their ecological limits, formulating images, architecture, and public spaces to create liveable, working, and productive cities. At the time of transformation, people continue to influence their habitat and beyond. While facing the compelling challenges of the present, innovative development poses itself as an inevitable response to future demands. In socio-economic disparities and environmental crises, innovation necessitates a mode of action to act responsibly in addressing issues in unconventional manners. The production of space becomes a responsibility towards the development of human resources, promoting their needs, capacities, and advancing a decent quality of life.
Download or read book The Living City written by Des Fitzgerald and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sociologist explores why “green cities” won’t fix everything—and urges us to celebrate urban life as it is Everywhere you look, cities are getting greener. The general assumption is clear: if something is unhealthy or bad about urban life today, then nature holds the cure. However, argues sociologist Des Fitzgerald, green spaces are not the panacea that people think. In The Living City, Fitzgerald tours the international green city movement that has flourished across the world and discovers the deep, sometimes troubling, roots of our desire to connect cities to nature. Talking to policy makers, planners, scientists, and architects, Fitzgerald suggests that underneath the wish to turn future cities green is another wish: to make the modern city, and perhaps the modern world, disappear altogether. Ultimately, he makes an argument for celebrating the contemporary city as it is—in all its noisy, constructed, artificial glory.

Download or read book Creative Insecurity written by Dania Thafer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle East is experiencing the world's most prominent youth bulge. Yet many MENA economies' institutional designs, both formal and informal, favor the power of business elites, systematically discriminating against young people joining the workforce or opening businesses, and thus limiting their ability to contribute to innovation. Large youth populations can be a boon or a curse: nurtured and integrated, they can jumpstart stratospheric growth; but if alienated and confined, they can drain a society politically and economically. The Gulf Cooperation Council countries are no exception to this perilous dilemma. This book explores the problem through a new concept, "creative insecurity": a state's subjection to an institutional ecosystem that is suppressing opportunities for innovation--to the extent that it is causing economic and political vulnerabilities, which in turn threaten national security. Creative insecurity threatens the longevity of many states today. In this original, incisive study, Dania Thafer argues that GCC member-states should make it a national security imperative to cash in their demographic dividend, by averting the deleterious effects of ill-disposed elite politics. Investing in an innovation ecosystem that harnesses the talent of the youth majority will be crucial for the GCC's successful transition to the post-oil era.

Book excerpt: This is a story about the youth of the Earth, when magic and all kinds of miraculousness were not yet gone. The tale begins with the ambitious mage Dolo, driven by an insatiable thirst for power, who embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the source of magic itself. His quest leads him to the Eye of Hell, where he strikes a fateful bargain with Erlik, the condemned god of the Underworld. In exchange for a God-Screener Cloak that renders Erlik unseen, Dolo obtains access to the legendary Godstone, the ancient fount of unparalleled power. However, Dolo's thirst for power blinds him to the consequences of his actions. He forgets his promises to Erlik and exploits the abilities of the Godstone, plunging the world into chaos. In the face of this escalating danger, a warrior shaman emerges as the protagonist, destined to restore balance by reclaiming the stolen relic and returning it to its rightful place. The Shaman, Kalbars of Benguraz, is an orphan adopted by the shaman of the village.

In this tale of sword and sorcery, shamans of the continent are warriors and saviours of people against all kinds of infernal creatures, entities, and supernatural threats. Kalbars is always alone in his heart but never alone in his presence. His fascinating journey through nine distinctive kingdoms reveals an adventure of a lifetime and countless colours of the world before him. From the most humble inns to the most wondrous palaces, from the deepest wells to the highest heavens, he roams. The Shaman is an epic fantasy novel filled with mythology, gods , and battles for survival. A thrilling journey of power, fate, and self-discovery, perfect for readers who love tales of heroic quests and mythical worlds.
